The challenge
Guests expected Netflix-style casting, but open Wi‑Fi casting broke room isolation and left sessions after checkout. A separate casting appliance stack would have added per-room cost and another vendor.
- Need for branded IPTV welcome screens tied to PMS
- Guest casting without sharing property Wi‑Fi passwords
- Zero tolerance for guest-to-guest device discovery
- Checkout must clear casting sessions every time
The technical solution
SiteLayer delivered hotel IPTV and Chromecast casting on the same middleware: PMS-driven welcomes, QR room pairing, per-room network isolation, and automatic session clear on checkout — without black-box appliances per room.
- Integrated PMS for personalized welcome and checkout clear
- Enabled Chromecast module with QR pairing on the in-room TV path
- Segmented casting traffic per room on the property network design
- Trained front office and engineering on fail-safe clear procedures
